Chapter 49: Response

The days of high and high pleasure did not last long.

First, Tongzhou City restricted entertainment activities in order to mourn the dead people, and then within two days, reinforcements from the association fell from the sky, and due to lack of manpower, they arrested the strong men who happened to stay in Tongzhou.

In line with the brotherly principle of sharing blessings and sharing, Jiejie Gao immediately reported to the governor that there was also a student of the association in Yue'an City, not far away, who was always ready to sacrifice his heart for justice and peace.

The chief flipped through the information and refused: "299 people, don't call them to die." ”

Jiejiegao trembled when he heard this: How can it be dropped? There is still a possibility of death in this mission?

Chen Bin, who got rid of the green-haired monster, was quite happy.

Because of the figure of her son in the news, the mother was depressed for several days, and every day she talked about "don't get into danger", "don't be brave for a while", and "mom only has a baby son like you".

Chen Bin replied with a helpless wry smile every time: "The association brings its own risks, and I can't escape if I am in the association." Enjoy the privileges and benefits, don't do something, can't say it, after all, you have a short hand, and your son is not a person who doesn't know how to be grateful......"

I lie at home every day and occasionally watch the news.

The Guild moved quickly, sending reinforcements to various cities two days later.

However, as the monarch of the Omelans Kingdom said, the Guild's manpower is indeed insufficient, and there are only two or three thousand combat soldiers in the three districts, most of whom have tasks on their bodies, and it is difficult to mobilize enough manpower to cover the entire region for a while.

Initial reinforcements were directed only at the eleven cities attacked.

Honglian obviously understood this, and began to avoid the first-tier cities, and instead attacked the association branches in the second-tier cities. Although it was only sporadic harassment, it was enough for the association to have a headache.

"This is guerrilla warfare," Chen Bin thought, .......

He gradually understood the predicament of the association.

In terms of head combat power, the association absolutely crushes any country and organization in this world, but the network is too open, and when it encounters this kind of terrorists who change places with one shot, unless all cities send troops to garrison them, they will not be able to guard against it at all.

Thinking of this, he had another doubt: "Why doesn't the association expand its enrollment?"

The enrollment quota of 700 people per year in each region is really a little less, even if the mortality rate of baptism is only 50%, only more than 300 people can survive, and counting the annual losses of going to sea, there is almost no accumulation of troops.

This is still in the past twenty or thirty years, when the survival rate of going to sea has increased significantly, and if it had been subjected to such a large-scale and decentralized attack thirty years ago, the association may not even be able to extract redundant manpower.

Even so, the association has no intention of expanding.

At present, it is known that 67% of the elemental affinity is a hurdle, and below 67%, it is almost impossible to show ability. But Chen Bin speculated that there should be an unspoken hurdle, at about 80%, which is the bottom line of enrollment adhered to by the association, and it is unknown what the significance of this line is.

He saw that the news scene cut to the scenes of demonstrations in major cities, and the people gathered in front of the branches of various associations, demanding that the associations cooperate with government departments as soon as possible to join hands to crack down on terrorist crimes and punish evil.

There are also all criticisms on the Internet, Chen Bin hasn't read it carefully, but if you look at the title, you can see that it is nothing more than accusing the association of acting too slowly or doing nothing, a little too radical, and even suggesting that the association is suspected of indulging gangsters.

"Smack!"

Mom turned off the TV.

"Don't look at these haves and don'ts, go, go grocery shopping. ”

Chen Bin honestly went out with his mother.

Yue An's life was as slow as usual, and the terrorist attacks in Tongzhou and even around the world obviously did not have much impact on the people of this small city, at most, it just added a little talk to the leisure time after tea and dinner.

Three days later, the association held its first press conference to respond to questions from the outside world.

Chen Bin stood in front of the TV.

My mother was angry and said, "Didn't you stop looking at these things that are not there?"

Chen Bin smiled and said: "Today is different, there must be goods." ”

If you don't have any dry goods at the cusp of the storm, you will not only be unable to pay the difference, but you will also be led by some people with ulterior motives, which will lead to greater public condemnation. The association will not do such a thankless task.

"Uh......"

The old mother sighed: "Isn't this Captain Zuo?"

The main speaker of this press conference is actually Zuo Ya.

Do you want to use Zuoya's personal influence and credibility to salvage the one-sided public opinion situation?

Zuo Ya did not go around in circles or play official tones, and explained the situation succinctly: "As of 8 o'clock this morning, 114 people of the terrorist organization Red Lotus have been arrested, of which 98 are peripheral members, 15 are middle-level members, and one is a core member, and this number is still increasing. ”

"In addition, the source of a large amount of funds, personnel and technology of Red Lotus is unknown, and it is suspected that there is a greater force behind it, and the association is still investigating, and I believe that soon, it will be able to give you a satisfactory answer......

Chen Bin listened carefully to the report of this captain Zuo, and his mother suddenly said: "Captain Zuo looks very decent, but I can't imagine that he is so unbearable in private." ”

Chen Bin was stunned for a moment: "What? Does he have any scandal?"

My mother said, "Didn't you say that he attacked you? As a soldier and a public figure, how can he attack ordinary people?"

He almost forgot about what happened two years ago, and he couldn't imagine that his mother still remembered it.

"It's a bit of an exaggeration. No one is perfect, and in general, Captain Zuo is quite decent. Chen Bin explained.

"Your attitude has changed a bit. My mother said, "Two years ago, you cursed people to die violently." ”

Chen Bin smiled awkwardly: "This time and that time." The stinky feet in the past have become thighs now, your son is a handsome man who knows current affairs, and he has long pounced on him and hugged him, how can there be a reason to hug his thighs and still think his thighs stink?"

At this time, a reporter asked: "Regarding the forces behind this, I don't know if the association has any specific suspicions?"

Left Tooth said, "No." No matter what kind of force it is, as long as the evidence is conclusive, we will uproot it to comfort the souls of 70,000 innocent people in heaven. ”

The subsequent Q&A revolved around some details of Honglian and the criminals who had been caught, and Zuo Ya did not reveal more about this part of the news, but only said that the investigation is underway, and everything is going smoothly at present.

After the Q&A, Zuo Ya stepped down from the stage, and the official spokesperson of the association came to the stage to make a final summary:

"Captain Zuo brought good news, but what he didn't mention was the efforts of the association to make these advances. There are now many false rumors that the association has done nothing, and there are even conspiracy theories that try to blame the association. ”

"In fact, as long as you know the association, you know that if we don't say it, it doesn't mean that we haven't done it. We will not be like the leaders of some countries, who come out every day to hold development conferences and shout slogans and demand cooperation, but have no sincerity in cooperation. The association has mobilized all its manpower and resources to track it down day and night. ”

"We're busy, and publicists like me have to be in the line of fire. We don't have the time or energy to hold frequent press conferences, let alone respond to unfounded rumors. When the dust falls, the rumors will be self-defeating, and all sins will be punished as they deserve. ”
